Question
My daughter has had epilepsy for over a year now, and her recent examination has shown white matter degeneration in the brain. Will this affect her recovery from epilepsy? How should she be treated in the future?
Answer
Case Analysis: Hello: The patient is a child with epilepsy. Changes in the brain can indeed affect the disease, as epilepsy is caused by abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain. White matter degeneration may increase the risk of epilepsy. Treatment Suggestions: There is currently no specific medication for treating white matter disease. Improving neural function and nourishing brain cells is one form of treatment. It is recommended to continue with antiepileptic medication treatment.
